Abstract

We describe a 49-year-old man with coexistence of ochronosiss and B 27 positive ankylosing spondylitis. This is the
first report documenting the simultaneous occurrence of ochronosis and B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis, with no
positive familiar history for seronegative spondylarthropathies. The relations of these rheumatic diseases are discussed.
